Charles Bronson

[ssjones]

I was watching "The Mechanic" for the first time since it came out (early 70's?). Charles Bronson smokes a pipe in many scenes. I guess that I didn't know he was in the group of famous pipe smokers. I stumbled on this pretty weird commercial with him featuring some pipes. (it is weird...)

... the woods are lovely, dark and deep...
Oops, wrong Bronson movie... :crazy:

Man, the way he dowses himself with that stuff you'd be able to smell him in Tokyo from LA.

I just finished watching the movie 'Bronson.' It is a movie about England's most notorious / violent prisoner. So I was expecting something else opening this thread.
Now I know there are two Charles Bronson's in the world.

The word "homoeroticism" comes to mind.

Bronson was a legend. I mean, he was the only actor who was a member of both The Magnificent Seven and The Dirty Dozen. 'Nuff said.

I always liked Bronson, but that commercial ranks up there with the very worst things I've ever seen. I can see why he had a death wish after doing that.

Now I know there are two Charles Bronson's in the world.

You really have never heard of CB the actor until now?

Mr Bronson was born and raised in my neck of the woods. 'Nice to connect with his affinity for the briar and leaf.

Thanks for the video. They don't make actors like Bronson anymore. I'd rather watch movies, and TV shows from those days than what's on today.

Charles Bronson was awesome. Not sure what I think about the commercial though haha!

Japanese commercials featuring American actors are always strange.
I'm huge fan of the cheesy Death Wish movies. My German Shepherd is named Bronson. Charles Bronson was a real life badass too. He was a belly gunner for the Air Force in WWII.

IT cannot be unseen! 8O

I named my Shepherd Bronson because if anyone breaks into my house, they have a Death Wish.
